Today we were not allowed to participate in the salute to veterans POW/MIA ride in Cripple Creek Colorado. I have participated in this ride for at least 10 years, the last 4 years in my SS. We had 4 attend last year and this year we had 6. One SS coming from Florida and even my father (82) rode his gold wing out from Oregon. We were turned away because we are "to big". They also turned away a Morgan but allowed spiders, trikes, sidecars, Stallions and all others.
Here is what I would like. The organizer is Pro promotions 719-487-8005 call leave a message (not vulgar or angry, lord knows I am) Asking why the SS is not allowed even though they were allowed in the past. Why are veterans being discriminated based on the vehicle they are in. I am a vetern of 20+ years and all proceeds go to help homeless vets, But veteran driven SS money is no good.
I have a call out to two news stations in hopes they will run a story to get this changed. You can also go to theveteransrally.org and leave a message on the page.
Thanks all.
